My mother basically told me that the world was going to end. She started by saying that the Milky Way galaxy was running out of resources- but then changed her words and said that God was getting tired. She said that he has to do things like continue giving resources to the galaxy and make sure the ocean never dries up/runs out and other things that I can't specifically remember what she had said. Apparently a date had been set where everything was going to end, and everybody was going to die. I believe it was Wednesday in the dream, and Thursday was the day it was going to happen. She said it would happen around noon, and I remember being sad because I wanted to spend another night up at my aunt's house to play games with my cousin one last time if the world was going to end. I had assumed that the world ending in this way would be a large flood with everybody drowning, and I was scared to drown. I wasn't scared to die, because that's something that I've wanted for a long time, but I was scared about the method- I was scared of the pain. When midnight rolled around things began to start. I remember running to my mother saying that I thought noon was the deadline, but it turns out she had gotten it mixed up and it was actually midnight. I don't remember how we all got there, but suddenly we were all strapped to this very large wheel that spun around a bit slowly. I think that in the dream my brain assumed that everybody in the world was attached to that wheel, but it was far too small for something like that. We were strapped into our seats with thick bars over our shoulders like it was an amusement park ride. I remember clinging to them, terrified. Somehow, the large wheel was confined inside of a room, albeit a large room. The walls and the floors were a golden color, though I didn't get a much better look at them than that. There was some sort of announcer who was telling us very little about what was going on, there was also music playing songs that I recognized but they were sped up a bit because we didn't have enough time left to hear them to completion. He told us to open our mouths to show our teeth because there was something flying around that would knock them out painlessly. I don't know why we had to have all our teeth knocked out before we were killed but you know?? Oh well I guess. I remember feeling my teeth getting knocked out but not feeling any pain, though I do remember feeling blood in my mouth and tasting it a little bit. Suddenly I started to hear a very loud and booming voice, and everything went dark. The wheel began to turn in a strange way, and I was being tilted backwards so I could look up. The large booming voice appeared to be God, asking for a volunteer to go first. And in front of my eyes I saw large white text that said press F to die- almost like this was a video game at this point. I remember wanting to press the button, but I was so scared I was shaking. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know the method, I didn't know anything except that it would kill me. I grew very frustrated with myself because of how long I've wanted to die, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to push the button. After a few people had gone, though I didn't exactly see how, I managed to press my button- I think. There was a large tube of sorts that was going around the wheel and stopping in front of the next person to go. I remember the large booming voice talking about a "pale child" or something and the tube being near me, and I was begging for it to just take me so this could be over with and I could stop being so scared that my entire body felt like it was on fire. But it took somebody else instead. Then I woke up, but I wasn't actually awake- I was still dreaming. I woke up in the living room chair at my aunt's house, the same house I had yearned to spend time at one last time in the nightmare. I went upstairs to one of my cousin's rooms to find my mom sleeping in their bed, for some reason. Ironically my mother grew up in that house- and that room so happened to be the one she had as a child. But I woke her up, despite it being 2 am, to tell her about the dream because I was still so shaken up. Whenever I have dreams that scare me really badly- and I either die or am about to die- my body responds by getting really warm all over as if that's what it feels like to die. In this dream however, it was mainly my legs and my ankles that were really hot from being frightened, though the rest of my body was too. I remember telling mom that I hoped that didn't "mean anything" since it was a dream where God was taking lives. I was worried it might mean that I would be going to hell whenever I do die. After I told her about the dream we went downstairs to get some water and there were a few people I didn't recognize being really loud down there. I yelled at them to be quiet, which is really out of character for me because confrontation scares the hell out of me, but the yelling didn't really do anything. I rolled my eyes and said "Guess I can't sleep down here anymore" and one of the guys tried to make up for it by offering me a controller to play Mario Kart with my cousin?? I was like no??? I'm literally going to bed right now?? But I went back upstairs and into my other cousin's room where both of my cousins were sleeping for some reason and pulled out my ds to play games with them since I felt awake at that point.
